The little girl skipped to her home. Her short black hair was ruffled cutely and her dark grey eyes danced with amusement. A boy tried to sneak up on her and without looking behind her she twirled out of the way and smiled at the tall, dark-haired boy wearing glasses. "Obito!" she giggled.
He smiled at her and ruffled her hair. "Hey, Kasara, where are you coming from?"
She jumped on his back. "Momma wanted me to go get some groceries for her."
Obito nodded. "So, when you gonna come over to my house?"
Kasara pursed her lips. "The Uchiha don't really like me, Obito."
He pouted. "I'm an Uchiha and I like my little cousin."
She grinned. "Thanks, Tobi."
"Why do you call me that?" he whined.
"It's in your name," she giggled.
"Kasara!" a man called from behind them, causing Kasara to squirm and flip off Obito's back.
"Daddy!" she squealed.
The Uchiha man scooped his daughter up and kissed her cheek. "Hello, Obito, thank you for taking her home."
Obito grinned. "It's fine, Akito. I love hanging out with Kasara. Can she come eat at my house?"
Akito tightened his grip on his daughter before looking at her. "What do you want to do, Kasara?"
"I wanna go with Obito," she said after a bit of deliberation.
Akito sighed and sat her down. She started off down the road. "Obito, make sure nothing happens to her," Akito said, never taking his eyes off his daughter.
"Yes, Akito-sama," Obito bowed before going after her.
Obito fell into step beside Kasara. She had her eyes shut and was walking normally and avoiding all the objects in the street. "Hey, Kasara, I need to go see my team. I'm actually late. Do you wanna come with me?"
"Sure," she opened her eyes and looked up at him. "I'll race you to the training grounds."
They both took off and Kasara pulled ahead of him easily. She was light and loved running. She reached the grounds a few minutes later and dropped to the ground in a crouch. She looked up to see a blonde-haired man with dazzling blue eyes, a brown-haired girl with brown eyes and purple stripes on her face, and a silver-haired boy with black eyes and a mask covering most of his face. The sensei watched her for a few minutes, wondering who she was. Slowly, she stood and a smirk spread across her face. "I win, O-bi-to," she sang.
Obito dropped down and sat with crossed legs. "Whatever, Kasara."
She winked at him. "Don't be a sore loser. Just because you lost to a little gir-"
She was cut off by him lunging at her. She twirled around him and watched him. He leaned towards his left and she did a back bend as his right leg swung over her head. She did a kick over, hitting him in the chin. He started making hand signs and Kasara bit her thumb and king her fingers together with her thumbs up. "Fire style: fireball jutsu!" Obito yelled.
"Hidden blood style: blood shield," Kasara murmured.
The fire ball flew at her and went around her shield without touching her. "Are you done?" Kasara asked.
He pouted. "Only 'cause your father would kill me otherwise."
"Obito, who's this?" the sensei asked.
Turning around, Kasara bowed. "I'm Kasara Uchiha, Akito's daughter."
"Ah," Minato's eyes lit with understanding.
"Sensei?" Rin asked.
He turned to his female student. "Akito is the Uchiha head's younger brother."
"Why doesn't she look like an Uchiha?" Kakashi asked.
Kasara flinched and Obito grabbed her hand. "That's because Akito-sama didn't marry in the Uchiha," Minato explained.
Kakashi and Rin looked at her. "So, she's a half-breed."
Kasara flinched again, but looked up with ice cold eyes. "That's right," she said emotionlessly.
Obito gripped her shoulders. "Kasara, if you want to go home it'll be alright. We can eat together another time."
"It's fine, Obito," she said quietly and he could just hear the small break in her voice. "I'll sit under the tree and wait for you," she said where the others could hear her.
Obito watched his little cousin go over to the tree and sit in its shadow. Sighing, he turned and went to his team, apologizing for being late.
Kasara sat watching them, refusing to let the insult of the stranger bother her. After a bit her eight-year-old self got bored. She climbed up the tree and hung upside down. She shut her eyes and started to meditate. A small sound reached her ears. Her eyes flashed open as she caught the shrunken; she flipped off the tree and twisted her body sending the shrunken back the way it came with senbon close behind. Minato avoided everything and smiled at the girl who was watching him carefully. "Sensei!" Obito shouted running to Kasara. "Why'd you attack Kasara? Oh, gosh, your dad's gonna freak!"
After a moment Kasara smiled. "It's fine, Obito. He was curious."
"Minato-sensei?" Obito asked in confusion.
"I wanted to see how Akito was training his daughter," he said.
A smirk spread across her face, making anyone who questioned her Uchiha blood kick themselves. "He hasn't. I'm his only child and his baby girl."
Kakashi watched the young girl. "Kakashi, Rin, what do you think about her?" Minato asked.
Rin smiled. "She's talented."
"She's alright," Kakashi said.
"I might need to talk to the Hokage," Minato mused.
Kasara tilted her head to the side, wondering what was going on.
